Eternal Orbs

Hmm, I thought about it a bit. I think that you should remove Mirrors as well. Imagine, how great and exciting PoE would be without Mirrors.

Can you reset or give us a long term server with NO legacy items... please.

With this change and no permanent league that is not fucked up to play in, I will not be back to play.

Edit:

God dammit, just make the legacy leagues already. I want to play again but this is fucked up.

The only ishue here onces again is that the rich people just got 100x richer. but ohwell, eternals price was stupid low to start off with anyways, just make it a master mod that costs like 60+ex or someshit gg sink lol.

So are these going to be worth more? Not that it matters since they'll probably just sit in my stash forever. But I'm just curious.



Maybe I'll use them myself some day, but so far I've never used anything above a chaos.

The duping of eternals for an unknown period of time contributed to them being really cheap and bountiful, thus making it cheap/possible for early crafters with some currency to make perfect items and profiting immensely.
As GGG became aware of the problem and clogged the loopholes, banning players and doing some witch-hunts against RTM'rs etc etc, the steady stream of (cheap) eternals came to an halt and left Standard with the situation it is in today.
I recall meeting players with 50-100 eternals to sell at once, and I thought that wherever they got them from it sure didn't make any sense considering the rarity of the orbs.
So those days of unlimited, cheap eternals went away and never came back, leaving a handful of wealthy crafters in control of the mirror service market on Standard.
As of todays decision to remove new eternal orb drops from the game, GGG is making amends from the mess they created, leaving the era of perfect crafts behind in a try to balance the game.
An era is over, we turn the pages towards Act 4, if it will be a new glorious beginning, or just the start of a another mess no one really can tell, as GGG's uncertainty is reflected in the statement

"

At the release of the next Path of Exile expansion after The Awakening, we'll review economic data and make a decision about whether they are restored or will continue to be disabled

Great! Now please remove Mirrors! or change the way they works!

What balance, the game has never been balanced and will always be in favor gear wise of a trader.
Its a poor move with a bunch of other poor moves cause all i can really think is ggg love to make sweeping changes. My only remaining hope is that there is a divination card for eternals which is at the drop rate that ggg actually want. Standard will always be dumpster particularly since master crafting Tri res gear is like 10c (and wrecked economy is also a cheap economy for anything but top tier gear). Meanwhile players made super phys dmg builds with 2 doryanis and everyone is super jelly of mirror gear.

They really needed to make eternal orbs not work anymore, when new ways to dupe are found the RMTer will cash in.

So now the only way to stand out in this game is play on Challenge Leagues or focus on buying these super crafted items, Or pray u craft one of equal caliber without the use of eternal orbs, Awesome.

For everyone saying remove mirrors, think about it... Its in the company logo, they will never remove mirrors from the game. More likely they will change how they work.
